Valkyrie and Family 2.149

Viggo woke up in his bed, with the morning sun coming through the windows and through the curtains. On his right arm slept Semiramis and on his left arm Scheherezade. Both naked and with a little rowdy hair.

Viggo opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, waiting for them to wake up. The soft skin of both was so pleasant to the touch that just lying around, surrounded by them, was a pleasure. Viggo could feel the bulging belly of Semiramis in his ribs, with skin stretched and hard like a watermelon. That little guy inside was kicking non-stop. Viggo smiled as he felt the movement and wondered how long before he was born? A month or two at most, he thought.

Scheherezade was the first to wake up, let out a yawn and clung to Viggo, intertwining her leg with his -good morning, dear- she said.

-Good morning- replied Viggo, crouching his face to the side, she brought her face closer, and they shared small kisses. Then they separated and continued to embrace, but with no intention of getting up.

Soon Semiramis woke up. She ran her hands over Viggo's body and let out a chuckle, as if enjoying the touch. She wanted to hug him and intertwine her leg with his, but her prominent stomach prevented her from doing so. She opened her olive-black eyes and looked at Viggo. He crouched down a little, pulled his lips closer, and she kissed him.

-Do we get up?- asked Viggo.

-I don't want to- replied Semiramis in a spoiled tone, hiding her face in Viggo's chest, although she could not hug him thanks to her bulging stomach.

-I have something great, something I brought from Midgar- Viggo whispered suggestively.

She opened her eyes immediately, uncovered herself, and forced herself to sit down while letting go of a growl. It was no longer so easy to move instinctively. Everything had to be planned and moved accordingly so that her weight or stomach would not bother her. Not to mention going to crowded places.

Viggo hold his hand on her back and help her sit on the edge of the bed. Scheherezade quickly got up and went to get Semiramis' clothes. Viggo sat next to Semiramis and hugged her from the side. He ran his hand through her stomach and felt a slight kick.

-He up so early- Viggo said with a smile.

-Heaven protects us- replied Semiramis, breathing a sigh.

-That, well, may be true- said Viggo -I still remember when Flora would get us up to go out and explore Aunt Demeter's estate-

-I imagine- said Semiramis, recalling the girl in the long blonde braid.

-Come on, I'll help you- said Viggo, stood up and stretched out both hands to Semiramis. She rested her hands on hips and he helped her stand up.

Scheherezade brought the clothes and between her and Viggo, they helped dress Semiramis. Then Viggo and Scheherezade dressed. The three of them went out together into the hall and went to an empty room. Viggo carried in his hands the Bag of Plenty.

Once they closed the door of the empty room on the second floor, Viggo walked to the center accompanied by Semiramis on his right and Scheherezade on his left. Viggo took the leather bag tied to his waist and turned it down. He looked at Semiramis on his right and Scheherezade on his left, to see their expressions. Both of them remained seemingly calm, but their eyes shone with anticipation. Viggo concentrated his mind on the leather bag and began to fall a flow of gold coins that had no end. A mound of one meter high in a short time was next to it, where precious stones, jewels, crowns, and scepters also fell.

-Wait, wait- said Semiramis, worried about the gemstones, if they were grated, they would lose their value. Viggo contained the flow of gold in the bag and Sermiramis and Scheherezade approached the mound to collect the precious stones.

Once they picked up all the stones, they walked away and Semiramis said -continues-

Viggo continued to let flow from the bag all the gold he found in the vaults of the dwarves who came from Niflheim, in the outpost. Gold, jewelry and precious stones seemed to have no end. Viggo moved every three meters and dropped the treasures one after another to form mounds of treasures. Semiramis and Scheherezade had their arms full of precious stones, so Viggo stopped and put his hand in the bag to find something special that his father gave him the night before. Kain said that since things were, he was going to need it sooner than thought. However, Viggo was not to go around occupying jewelry and those things in his hands, with his combat style, would break.

Viggo took out a wonderful ring with a large blue gemstone. The eyes of Semiramis and Scheherezade were filled with amazement at the sight of something so elegant. Only comparable to the best jewels that Hera had reserved for other goddesses who could afford great luxuries.

-Give me your hand- said Viggo, holding the ring in his right hand as he stretched out his left hand. However, Semiramis looked at Scheherezade, opened his mouth wanting to say a few things, but Scheherezade knew Semiramis very well. They lived in the harem of the prince of Persia, were expelled together, sailed together, fell in love with the same man, and came to live in an unknown land. It was impossible for Scheherezade not to know Semiramis' longings.

-Just accept it- Scheherezade said with a smile.

-But...- said Semiramis.

-Just don't follow Hera's examples. She may be a distinguished woman, but in turn, she has no allies, only people who are useful to her. I don't like you to behave like someone you're not. You're smart enough, you don't need to imitate anyone's ways-

-I also think the same- said Viggo. Semiramis looked at him and he continued -from my point of view, my worst moment was when I wanted to do things the way others do. Try to be or imitate others. I am not the others; I have my own strengths and weaknesses. I did better develop my strength when I did things as I know how to do them, letting myself be guided by my instinct-

Semiramis looked them both in the eye and nodded -okay- said -I, I just want to be better-

-Like me- said Viggo.

-Like me too- Scheherezade added -but we all have our way of doing things-

Semiramis showed a small smile and let out a sigh, thinking of Hera, how she was doing things and how she lived. In the end, she was the queen of the gods, but if it weren't for Kain and his family, she would live alone in a tower. Dominating the world without anyone being able to reach her. That, in a sense, was sad.

Semiramis stretched out his hand and Viggo brought the ring to the ring finger. Once in place, she withdrew her hand and lifted it into the air, admiring the jewel and the exquisite blue stone that crowned its center.

-Now try to touch the precious stones and absorb them into the ring. It works like the Bag of Abundance-

Semiramis brought his left hand to the gemstones held on his right arm attached to his chest and touched them with his index finger one by one. All of them were adsorbed into the ring. Then he concentrated and could see that all of them floated in the dimensional space inside the ring.

-This is incredibly practical- said Semiramis.

-And let me say it- replied Viggo, he turned around and continued to let the riches flow from the bag of abundance. Viggo continued to form mounds of treasures until the room was filled.

-I think we have what we need with this- Semiramis said with a smile.

-What do you mean?- asked Viggo.

Semiramis looked at Scheherezade, she nodded approving of his idea. If Scheherezade had been against it, she would never have mentioned it. She was her counterpart who worried that they both would step on safe ground.

Semiramis looked at Viggo and said -we have been in talks with Lady Hera. Of course, Scheherezade and I agree that it's a good fit. We want to start a family of adventurers-

Viggo turns his eyes to heaven evaluating Sermiramis' words. Then he looked at Semiramis and said -as far as I know, I can't use falna, nor have I become a god to be able to provide blessing to other people-

-Lady Hera recommended a goddess; someone she trusts and who fully approves. We inform ourselves, look for references from other gods and understand that it is a good option. At least, until you become a god. At that time, we can start another family. However, the important thing is to make a space in Orario and compete with the big families-

-I cannot receive falna-

-According to the statutes of the guild of adventurers. Everyone who provides support, whether adventurous or administrative, is part of the family. It could be your captain or instructor, prepare adventurers and take several disciples. However, without you, it cannot be possible. We would be too insignificant and begin to see the returns when we were old-

-Do you think this goddess will accept?- asked Viggo.

-Yes, I have the resources, the knowledge, and the contacts. You just need to form a family and a god to provide the blessing. With that and the best adventurer in Orario, promising adventurers will arrive on their own-

-I'm not the best adventurer- said Viggo -I'm not even an adventurer. From time to time, I have fun with my brothers dipping into the dungeon, but in a sense, I don't know anything. You can only count on me for two things, protection, and training. I can hunt some monsters for you, but I don't know about plants, monsters, and valuable items-

-That's where Hitomi comes in. Occupy their knowledge and learn as much as you can- said Semiramis -it will be necessary for the future-

-Why do I feel like you're hiding things from me?-

-Trust me, Viggo. I don't do it just for you- said Semiramis by running her hand over her bulging belly -I do it for everyone-
